Ah, Kids...

One day, Miss Jones was teaching spelling to her 1st grade elementary students.

"Billy", she said, "go to the board and spell 'dog' and you can have a cookie." Billy promptly went to the board and spelled dog, D-O-G. Then he ran to Miss Jones for his cookie.

"Very good! Now, Susie I want you to go to the board and spell 'cat'. Spell it correctly and you'll get a cookie." Susie went to the board and spelled cat, C-A-T, then went to get her cookie from Miss Jones.

"Okay, who is next. Muhammed, would you like to try?", she asked.

Muhammed looked very sheepishly at Miss Jones and muttered "No".

"Well why not?"

Muhammed then burst out, tears beginning to stream down his face. "Billy and Susie wouldn't let me play in the sandbox at recess! And they were throwing rocks at me and making fun of me. They even said my daddy was a terrorist!!"

Miss Jones was aghast. "That is terrible! How could you two be so mean to Muhammed. And what you called his daddy, why that's just blatant descrimination!"

Then Miss Jones turned to Muhammed and said "Tell you what, Muhammed. I'll give you two cookies if you go to the board and spell 'blatant discrimination'."

Back when I was a kid we had the little plastic World War II versions.

These Vietnam era designs are definitely different.

I love the smell of burning plastic in the morning.
